Charmed

A 'Charm'-ing Yarn from Classic Elite

Two kinds of goats make a perfect sweater!

Elise exclaims, "Oooh! Finally a cashmere we can use for sweaters."

She's just opened the box from Classic Elite with Charmed for the first time. The rest of us in the shop can't help giggling. So what have we been doing with all of that cashmere before? Elise takes a yoga breath and explains the obvious. (While she's breathing we DO notice that we really like this new cashmere/mohair blend. Seems clever to mix two kinds of goat hair together like that. It's quite beautiful - heathery AND soft!) Elise goes on that, of course, cashmere is for sweaters, but it's always for a special sweater; a big deal. This stuff is for any sweater, except it will be ten times nicer, but not inappropriate, like 100% cashmere might be. We did get it. We imagined regular and not-so-regular sweaters and vests and scarves and hats and all kinds of things being knitted up in this fabulous heathery yarn. Sure enough, Elise foretold the future of this yarn, at least as far as our shop is concerned. Folks are making everything from mittens to skirts. Charming...
